Is Breast Cancer Hereditary?

I am 52, 5 ft tall, Female, in good health, no high BP, no high blood sugers. This past week I have been having sensations in my right breast. Not pain or tingling, just an awareness that my breast is there. Both sisters have had cysts in breast, nothing to it for them.
